Jacob said to Joseph This phrase introduces a significant moment of patriarchal blessing and legacy. Jacob, also known as Israel, is speaking to his beloved son Joseph. The name "Jacob" in Hebrew is "Ya'akov," which means "heel holder" or "supplanter," reflecting his early life struggles and eventual transformation. The act of speaking to Joseph, his favored son, signifies the passing of a spiritual and familial heritage. Joseph, whose name in Hebrew is "Yosef," meaning "He will add," is a symbol of God's providence and blessing, having risen to power in Egypt despite his earlier hardships. God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me Luz.--This use of the old name shows how very slowly the new titles of places, derived from incidents in the history of a small tribe, took the place of their native and original appellations. In a similar manner in the recent exploration of Palestine, it has been found that the high-sounding titles given by the Seleucidae and Romans to towns there have never been adopted by the peasantry, who still call them by their old names. Verses 3, 4. - And Jacob said unto Joseph, - recalling the experiences of early days - God Almighty - El Shaddai (vide Genesis 17:1) - appeared unto me at Luz - i.e. Bethel (vide Genesis 28:17, 19; Genesis 35:6, 15) - in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, and said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. It is obvious that Jacob principally has in his mind the theophany at Bethel on his return from Padan-aram.Parallel Commentaries ...
